Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Na, wasn't it mentioned... Moses isn't his agent just an advisor or something.

If he got a new deal elsewhere, Moses would get a finders fee, if he stays at the Tigers - nothing.

Read that on here, apparently AD said it on a post game radio interview.

He did, it was the Monday following the Titans game on SEN. He was very candid, said he hasn’t signed with Moses as a manager but if he did have to leave the Tigers he needed some help to look around whilst he focused on playing.
I’m not sure what resulted in the end regarding signing with the Tigers as lots can change week to week.
A flat fee for his time seems appropriate.

We're gonna have some tall timber in the engine room next season joining Sam Fanua.

Samuela Fainu - 194cms - 109kgs - 21 years young - 2nd row
Maverik Geyer - 191cms - 104kgs - 24 years young - 2nd row
Ethan Roberts - 195cms - 105kgs - 20 years young - 2nd row
Kai Pearce-Paul - 198cms - 108kgs - 24 years young - 2nd row

WT are at last seeing the errors of the past. And what works for other teams.
But our KOE team forwards are all "nuggets"....to quote others.

Said this all along, it was always easiest to point to finger at Moses. Its true that Benji and Moses don't get along, but Moses loves money more than he dislikes Benji. Godinet and Sukkar both re-signed this year along with Doueihi (even though Moses was just an advisor).

The Galvin release and pile on was always from the Galvin camp. From what i know, the Moses camp was not happy with the Galvin camp after all was said and done as Moses helped orchestrate the whole debacle to get him Parra. Galvins family and Vella were secretly working to get him to the Bulldogs for months.

Curious to see how much gets thrown at Bula from r360

Some people want to concentrate on “improving the depth” ..,then are surprised we got no spots left to sign someone who “falls out of a tree “ like May did last year ,



Assume Taylan and AD sign… we have a spot left ? Do you expect this team to make the 8 next season ? It still doesn’t look like Top 8 team to me ..

Need an out and out prop who can play good minutes but at the same time have impact on the pitch. We need a mix of May's minutes and work ethic and Hunts line bending ability when he was firing. A forward with those 2 qualities Tom and Douhi with a preseason at 13 and Latu at 7, as long as our depth players can put a few decent performances in if called upon. I think we're in for a white hot shout of making the 8.

 

[liltiger]

Whilst it's a long way from now, I'd be very surprised if Latu at 7 and Doueihi at 13 isn't how we begin next season, regardless of how AD is slotting in currently.

It's the long term plan with Latu, another pre season together, a squad that will be better again than this year and Benji has already shown he's willing to pick him as his starting 7 at full, or near-full strength.

Kelce the other thing is Latu hasn't had a roper preseason yet. The hard part is done his D is great. It's just his game management and kicking game he needs to spend the offseason working on with Luai. An offseason togeather will do Latu wonders. He also needs to find his voice. Reckon he is intimidated abit next to Luai. It'll take Latu 3 - 4 years to nail the role down consistenty. Once he does he will light the competition up.

Didn’t Richo say they had a deal with large car manufacturer for Galvin.

He did say that and I thought at the time it could get him in hot water. That said there was no contract offered so the TPA and amount of $ could have been rubbish - Richo talking up the value to bend someone else's cap out of shape.

The TPA is discussed in detail in a deep dive here.

I'm hearing the Bye will be fielding a weak side this week, so fairly confident on a win this weekend..☝️🐯

What about targeting keaon Koloamatangi? I believe he may be agent come Nov 1, not to sure but he would be great to partner with Terrell May

Heck yes, but im pretty sure hes pissed off at Uncle Wayne for playing him at FR.... Weve got a solid BR room now. But still, the guys a beast.

 

[Buttface]

I think you will find that they are way smarter than to dabble in this sort of caper. They off things like the provision of financial advice, discounted rates for fianancial management and brown paper bags etc. Loose lips sink ships and it would only take one slip to have a salacry cap investigation for a dodgy TPA.

What we don't know is what our players are getting from Pepper Money in doscounted services, investment "advice" etc.

It would only take one disgruntled investor and everyone would know, and I’d bet we’d have few.

I would love Keaon Kolourmytonguey in black white and orange.

I think he goes alright at 13 too.

 

[ATown]

Doueihi doesn't have any form in the halves. Would need to see more.

Got a hell of a lot more than Latu at this stage.

Please explain. What do you mean? How many games has he played halfback this season.

You actually never know sometimes they turn up



But to be honest just need to beat Manly next week

 

[weststigerman]

I wouldn’t say no to him but I think he’s too similar to Terrell.

I’d prefer the Papali’i, AFB, and dare I say it Stef style who are not as high work rate but every hit up is 10+ metres.

We probably won’t get either so it’s all a dream.

Was only thinking about AFB and we probably have the cap space we didn’t have when he came back across the ditch

Ha🤞.. Yeah Definitely want that Manly scalp.... Manly, roosters and bulldogs every year are my must bash and smash teams.

People will scratch their heads over this but here goes .
I really think latu will be a much better player as a ball playing lock , having watch him in his limited games he drifts in and out , as a play maker at 1/2 u got to be talking and organising the team , he is way of that .
He is a great defender, hits hard down low , when he sees a hole he has great pace to go throw it , just my thoughts , also we didn’t buy the Andrew’s kid for nothing
